DIVINE WISDOM AND SUPREME UNDERSTANDING - PART 5

FRIDAY 04 APRIL 2025

Reference: Proverbs 3:13-14 New Living Translation (NLT)

"Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding.

For wisdom is more profitable than silver, and her wages are better than gold."

The more you study and cogitate on the Word of God, the more the truthfulness of "God's will" opens your mind to assimilate the theoretical sacred Word, Sophia. And as this assimilation continues, it becomes a function of divine wisdom expressive of Sunesis in the human mind, which is a term defined as analytical wisdom or critical thinking. Sunesis is the Greek word for "understanding," "insight," or "intelligence," and its synonyms are a considered turn of phrase such as comprehension, discernment and intellect, which imply - a putting together in the mind.

Simply put, Sunesis is another level of wisdom that empowers with an ability to comprehend, discern, or gain accurate insight into matters, particularly spiritual truths. It denotes a deep, reasoned comprehension that goes beyond mere knowledge, especially on an observatory account of alacritous cogitation.

Each time you study or listen to the Word, from a focused stance, and under the enabling influence of the Spirit, the power of your mind is being exercised to grasp Biblical truths, in such a way that you can experience spiritual discernment essentially vital in developing a firm, righteous mindset. And the full assurance of this spiritual understanding is considered essential for attaining the rightness of a "decision making" and "sound judgment."

Sunesis is putting together an uplifting sense of divine notions assimilated from the refreshing living waters of God's knowledge, which is characterized by the ability to show how you express your mental connectedness to the theoretical wisdom you've absorbed by mindful extraction - from the standpoint of analytic approach.

These Divine notions are sound figments of the Word that mature the mind spiritually, and can be converted to spoken Word or utterance, known as the Greek word, Rhema. To that effect, Pauline epistolary expression numbered as 1st Corinthians 2:6 reads, "Yet when I am among mature believers, I do speak with words of wisdom, but not the kind of wisdom that belongs to this world or to the rulers of this world, who are soon forgotten" (NLT).

Beloved, its not enough to develop a fixed Sunesis within your mental faculty, which exerts the kind of comprehension that Biblical truths present or represent, it is also importantly regardful to constantly demonstrate it by communicating the embedded spiritual realities clearly - through word of mouth. That's where the Oral Law is required, which is the guaranteed source of every spiritual change in a living being. To instantiate this verity, Joshua 1:8 reads, "Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful" (NIV).

Beloved, do not form the habit of nurturing an unspoken Sunesis, because the excellency of wisdom is attentively observed by denotative speaking practice that reveals the words of such wisdom, which is an index of the "Word" transforming effects. Stay tuned for part 6. Shalom!
